Mind Body Wellness is Growing!

Are you a West Virginia licensed therapist who brings a gentle blend of humility and curiosity to your work?

Perhaps you have been described as an outside-of-the-box thinker (ethical, yet willing to question the medical model) who understands and appreciates the connection between mind, body and spirit? You care about your clients and truly want to see them find their wellness in their healing journey. You are equally committed to your own healing journey.

You are passionate about working with adults with a history of trauma from a strengths-based, non-pathologizing approach. You ask “What happened to you?” and then follow-up with “What is the impact of that on you today?” You trust in the wisdom that each individual brings to the therapeutic process. You believe in the power of community. You are dedicated to always learning and growing both professionally and personally.

You are craving a career where you get to show up as your real self and focus on what you love (your clients’ healing journey and your own) without having to worry about running a business, marketing yourself, paying quarterly estimated taxes, existing alone on the private practice island or being a therapy producing machine.  You are longing for a career where you can show up as your authentic self, quirks and all. You want to work in a place where the culture values you as a human being first and foremost.

Well, hello! We’re Mind Body Wellness and we’re glad you found us. You might be the perfect fit for our team.

We created Mind Body Wellness as a place of healing and hope for therapists who want the perks of being in private practice (autonomy, low caseload, stellar work/life balance) and the benefits of being part of an agency (income stability, supportive community, an awesome, caring, and collaborative team of like-minded people) without the headaches of owning your own business or having to navigate bureaucratic red tape.

Basically, we’re a haven for talented, smart, passionate people who want to become expert-level trauma therapists without sacrificing their sanity or wellbeing in the process.

The Details 

• 4-5 day work week with a small caseload of 20-24 clinical hours (20+ is considered FT, we practice what we preach and want you here for the long haul), that will consist of a mix of individual therapy and groups/workshops

• W2 employee position

• Hybrid model: teletherapy and in-person; option to work remotely full-time for the right candidate

• Paid supervision for both social work and professional counselors in West Virginia

• Additional consideration for those with a strong interest or experience in the Expressive Arts

• Regular case consultation from a trauma informed and neurodivergence perspective

• Generous annual educational reimbursement so you can invest in quality training with less stress

• Retirement savings plan with employer match

• Guidance and mentorship to help you achieve your long term career goals

• Team play dates and retreats. We believe in order to create and support team chemistry and camaraderie, we all need to be invested in one another’s success

You're NOT a good fit for this position if you’re…

• Not interested in a full-time position (4 days per week seeing a mix of individual clients and running at least one online or in-person group/workshop week)

• Not interested in pursuing Trauma Certification through The Ferentz Institute 

• Not interested in expanding and improving your therapy skills

• Unable to self-manage your workday (i.e. you need a lot of oversight to get things done)

• Not engaged in your own healing journey

• Not committed to humility and curiosity

• Not looking to be part of a collaborative team

• If you’re are offended by the occasional f-bomb

• Opposed to working for a business that supports social justice causes, advocates for inclusivity in the therapy room and generally aims to smash the patriarchy a little bit each day

Sound like a good fit so far? Keep reading…

Therapists of all colors, backgrounds, religions (or lack thereof), sexual orientations, neurodivergence and gender identities who are passionate about working with adult trauma survivors from a strengths-based, non-pathologizing approach are encouraged to apply.

We prefer our therapists to have foundational training in working with trauma prior to starting at Mind Body Wellness. We’re happy to support you in further developing these skills through ongoing training, supervision and consultation.
